There's Scott McClellan. And then there's reality.


Hmmmm ... seems like it wasn't that long ago that White House Press Weasel Scott McClellan really believed he was doing a bang-up job:

McClellan: This relationship is built on trust, and you know very well that I have worked hard to earn the trust of the people in this room, and I think I've earned it ... and I think I've earned it with the American people.

And then reality steps up and gives Scottie a quick one to the nads:

According to both administration and GOP insiders, we’re hearing here at CNN that Press Secretary Scott McClellan and Treasury Secretary John Snow could be the next ones to be shown to the door.

Now, why McClellan? Several sources familiar with the thinking of new White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten say that immediately, right out of gate, he began on focusing on improving White House communications in order to regenerate the White House’s — the administration’s message, the performance — you know those poll numbers are really lagging right now. One White House insider says there’s been “a lot of dissatisfaction with the state of communications.”

Reality bites, doesn't it, Scott?
